The Whispering Cairn (Inactive)

Game Master Death-Lok

Assuming Bubba hastes and inspires as usual...

Valgrim grips his falchion and smiles, "Let's do this! Time to kill your wish-grantor first!" Valgrim uses a mythic point to fleet charge the efreeti (90' speed flying):
Fleet charge: 1d20 + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 55...threat
Full attack:
1d20 + 34 ⇒ (18) + 34 = 52...threat
1d20 + 29 ⇒ (13) + 29 = 42
Damage: 4d6 + 38 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 1) + 38 = 47
1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36
Damage: 4d6 + 38 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 4) + 38 = 55
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
Damage: 4d6 + 38 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 3) + 38 = 48
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Damage: 4d6 + 38 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4) + 38 = 48
Threat #1: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (9) + 40 = 49
Damage: 6d6 + 76 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 3, 2, 1) + 76 = 88
Threat #2: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (14) + 34 = 48
Damage: 6d6 + 76 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 1, 5, 1) + 76 = 90
If FF AC 42, took 47+88+90=225 damage
If FF AC 36, took 225+55=280 damage

Will assume that Bub followed through with Haste and IC, as usual..

The noble Efreeti's FF AC is 35 and he topples over dead, as the dwarf drives his blade into his chest! Valgrim, they did all have Unholy Aura on so you need to make 4 Fortitude saves DC 29 or take 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 2) = 12 points of Strength damage.

Round 1: Darl
Darl pulls down the cowl of his hood to reveal that in his left eye socket now rests the Eye of Vecna! "Aaargh, damn dwarf, you killed m genie. That was a setback but you have left your allies completely vulnerable in the back and I know of a lovely surprise for them."
He first casts a Quickened Dispel Magic on Valgrim targeting his Death Ward protection.
Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39 vs. DC of 32..spell gone! The Hand and Eye of Vecna both glow as Darl casts more clerical magic, this time opening a gigantic portal next to Friar, as an immense almost beyond belief, sleek, midnight-black shark appears! You remember this undead monster well having encountered it previously in your quest for Dragotha's lair. And as you may remember, you fled from it!

The Nightwave first casts a Quickened Cone of Cold on Alie, Bub, and Friar: Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 2, 2, 5, 1, 1, 5, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 4) = 54...DC 22 Reflex save for no damage as you all have evasion.
Then it bites down on Friar using Greater Vital Strike: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (12) + 28 = 40
Damage: 20d10 + 43 ⇒ (8, 8, 4, 9, 5, 1, 10, 9, 2, 4, 7, 7, 9, 9, 2, 9, 7, 7, 1, 5) + 43 = 166

Summary so far:
Bub buffed
Valgrim killed the Efreeti - make 4 Fort saves DC 29
Valgrim lost Death Ward
Darl gated in a Nightwave
Alie, Bub, and Friar have to make DC 22 Reflex saves
Then Friar gets bit for 166 damage!
After all that, Friar is up!

Happy we killed the efreeti, but that undead shark again...I really hate Darl....I got bit by the shark last time!
Fort saves, only fails on a "1":
4d20 ⇒ (13, 7, 7, 4) = 31....no Strength damage.
Bad to not have Death Ward against this cleric.

Reflex 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 with Evasion

Updated Combat Map

I included the Nightwave, which has 30' reach btw due to its Colossal size.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 1 + 6 = 36...no damage due to evasion.

Round 1:
Friar casts Grace, moves 50' away from the undead flying shark, and casts Heal on himself, curing 150 damage.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31

Holidays are keeping me away from the boards. Thanks for the bot, that is indeed the first round course of action. If I'm still away, assume Bub readies an action to counter further greater dispel magic unless a better choice presents itself.

And well done, Valgrim! Wow!

Back from holiday break!

Round 1: Horned Devil and the Tiefling Monk

The horned devil oddly leaves Valgrim alone, who is within reach of his spiked chain, and instead charges at Bublaka and lashes out at the bard!

Charge: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 26 + 2 = 34...hit
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 6) + 11 = 19
Bublaka, please make a DC 27 Fort save or be stunned 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds.

The tiefling monk focuses his energies and spring attacks Valgrim, but misses and returns to his spot in front of Darl!
Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (5) + 24 = 29..miss

Bard's Fort save and then Alie, Valgrim, and Bublaka are up! The bard has a devil and a shark currently within melee range of him so he may want to rethink his readied action! Alie, you are in the bite range of the shark as well.

Updated Map

Alie flies 40’ due South, and uses her maximize wand to allow her to cast a stronger Disintegrate at the flying shark creature.

As he surveys the battle, Valgrim screams out instructions, "Alie, I need you to disintegrate that shark...now! Even if you have to take a bite to do so! And the devil too, if you kill the shark!" Valgrim will wait to see what the sorceress and the bard do before acting.

EDIT: Alie, you will take AoO even if you move. It won't be a Greater Vital Strike either since it can't do that on AoO. Just better to stay and take one and cast 2 spells, regular and quickened! My 2 cents. Never mind....your plan works too...lol.

After moving, Alie again fires her trademark sickly green ray at the huge shark beast.

RTA 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Casting Disintegrate as a 6th level spell. Using first charge of maximize wand.

SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36
SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27

Damage 240.

DC 37 Fort save needed. If succeeds, takes 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 2, 4) = 19 damage.

Alie fires her second green ray, quickening the spell.

RTA 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

Casting Quickened Disintegrate as a 6th level spell as well.

SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42
SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39

Damage 40d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 2, 4, 3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3) = 143

i don’t think I can use the rod twice in a round, so I rolled damage on the second spell. DC 37 Fort save needed. If succeeds, takes 5d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 6, 1) = 15 damage.

Marked off two 6th level spells.

Before I roll saves, Alie, do you wish to use 1 point of Mythic Power to turn any of the disintegrates Mythic (3d6 instead of 2d6)? You would do 360 damage then instead maximized. You have 7 points. Just letting you know.

Lol, of course I had forgotten all about epic. High level play has so many fiddley bits! Yes, please, I would have used a mythic point on the first attack. That leaves me six points.

Okie dokie!

AoO bite: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (1) + 28 = 29...miss!

Nightwave's Fort saves:
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
Despite it having 391 hps, the colossal undead shark fails both of its saves and is turned to dust by the might of sorceress!

The shock and anger on Darl's face is quite apparent!

Valgrim will spring attack the Horned Devil, using Dazing Assault:Attack: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (9) + 38 = 47
Damage: 2d4 + 2d6 + 39 ⇒ (1, 4) + (6, 3) + 39 = 53
DC 30 Fort save or be Dazed
He will then ask Bubba for Brilliant inspiration

Fort save: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29...oh, so close! Dazed!

Since Bub is away, he casts Inspiration on the dwarf.

Round 2: Darl
The grand fight is definitely not going the cleric's away with his gated ally and his most powerful member dead, while another is dazed. Realizing the dwarf is the combat leader of the party and the strongest melee threat, he focuses his attention on him.

Darl moves up 40' and first casts a Quickened Prayer in the area boosting his allies and hindering the party.
SR checks vs. Alie: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39
SR checks vs. Bub: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40
SR checks vs. Friar: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41
SR checks vs. Valgrim: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44
Everyone in the party is affected
You all have -1 on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks.

Darl then casts Greater Bestow Curse and touches Valgrim at a distance with the Hand of Vecna as he is within close range.
Touch attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 = 26...hit
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36 vs. SR of 33...yes!
Valgrim, please make a DC 32 Will save (with -1 penalty) or suffer effects of spell.

After the save, Friar is up!

I have Mythic Iron Will so don't know if Darl is mythic (will assume he is):
Will save: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 4 - 1 = 33..I think I get a bonus from Bubba but I don't know if it stacks.
"You're going to have do better than that, Darl. Vecna must be quite disappointed in you." Valgrim smiles at the cleric.

First, Bublaka's overdue DC 27 Fortitude save vs stunned

Fortitude + Inspiration: 1d20 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 6 = 40

Second, for Valgrim's question, Bublaka's inspire courage bonus to saves applies to all saves now and is currently a +6 thanks to a mythic ability whose name escapes me. If the normal inspire courage would grant you the bonus, Valgrim, this should as well. Glad to see you didn't really need it to succeed on your check.

Eyes flashing, the bard focuses on the dazed devil and says to no one in particular, "I think this one qualifies." With a snap of the fingers of his right hand, a massive sword so black that it seems to absorb the light appears and he prepares to attack the creature, but Valgrim's request get his attention. With a spoken word of power, Valgrim hears that familiar internal voice suggesting alternatives and encouragement that has made failure into successes for him previously.

Apologies for my absence...

Friar casts Greater Dispel Magic on Darl and a Quickened Blessing of Fervor on the party.

Dispel checks and assuming CL20:
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37...yes
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35...yes
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41...yes
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36...yes

Blessing of Fervor (does not stack with haste so modified bonuses):
Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.

Happy New Year all...I am back!

Darl loses four of his magical protections, causing him great anger.

Round 2:Horned Devil and Tiefling Monk
The devil is dazed this round.
The monk rushes up and uses Vital Strike and Quivering Palm to attack Friar!
Attack: 1d20 + 25 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 25 + 1 = 44
Damage: 4d10 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5, 8, 4) + 10 + 1 = 31
DC 29 Fort save or die.

Updated Combat Map

After save, Alie, Bub and Valgrim are up!

Fort save: 1d20 + 25 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 25 + 6 = 35...success, thanks Bub! That +6 makes a difference! Took 31 damage only.

Going to delay until Valgrim and Bubba take their actions.

Surprisingly, the bard steps up to the dazed devil, swinging the pitch-black greatsword like he was born to wield it! His performance changes to an orcish war chant as he attacks.

Attack #1: 1d20 + 23 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 23 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 51 Inspiration, flanking, haste, blessing of fervor, I think that's everything
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 = 13 plus Blackrazor's special ability

Attack #2: 1d20 + 18 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 8 = 39
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 6) + 10 = 22 plus Blackrazor's special ability

Attack #3: 1d20 + 13 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 8 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 = 15 plus Blackrazor's special ability

Haste bonus: 1d20 + 23 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 23 + 8 = 46
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 3) + 10 = 17 plus Blackrazor's special ability

Crit confirmation for #1?: 1d20 + 23 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 23 + 8 = 36
Potential Crit Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 3) + 10 = 19 plus Blackrazor's special ability

Everyone can feel a rather disturbing feeling of elation emanating as the first strike appears to score a mortal wound on the dazed extraplanar visitor.

With Bub attacking the fiend, Valgrim uses a mythic point to fleet charge the tiefling monk threatening Friar!
Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 62 or
1d20 + 41 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 41 + 2 = 57...threat (bypasses DR)
Full-attack:
1d20 + 36 ⇒ (16) + 36 = 52 or 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (8) + 36 = 44...threat
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (14) + 31 = 45 or 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (15) + 31 = 46...threat
1d20 + 26 ⇒ (10) + 26 = 36 or 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (5) + 26 = 31
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38 or 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 or 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Threat #1: 1d20 + 43 ⇒ (16) + 43 = 59
Damage: 4d6 + 2d6 + 78 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 4) + (4, 6) + 78 = 100
Threat #2: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (9) + 36 = 45
Damage: 4d6 + 2d6 + 78 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 2) + (4, 1) + 78 = 96
Threat #3: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (8) + 31 = 39..no
Damage: 2d6 + 2d6 + 39 ⇒ (5, 6) + (3, 3) + 39 = 56
IF AC is at least 40, then 252 damage.
MP: 3/7

Oh, boy. I wasn't planning to take on the devil alone. I was hoping to make Valgrim's job easier!

The Devil's AC is 35 so total damage to Horned Devil: 43+32+22+17= 114 and one negative level and Bub gets 1d6 ⇒ 3 temporary hit points.
The monk's AC is 52 with his point of ki used this round so two hits from Valgrim and one critical for 100+52=152 damage.
Both enemies are still up, the monk looking more severely damaged than the devil.
Alie is up!

Alie fires her first Disintegrate spell at the enemy in front of her engaged with Valgrim.

RTA 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Casting Persistant Mythic Disintegrate while using normal Maximize metamagic wand. If hits, damage is 360 plus 1d4 points of Con damage. Need two DC 37 Fort saves to avoid. If avoids, take 5d8 ⇒ (8, 8, 7, 6, 3) = 32 points if damage.

SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26
SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

She then casts Quickened Disintegrate at the one engaged with the Friar.

RTA 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Damage 40d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 1, 5, 5, 6, 4, 6, 6, 3, 3, 5, 5, 4, 3, 6, 1, 5, 6, 3, 2, 6, 3, 2, 1, 3, 4, 1, 6, 1, 1, 3, 6, 1, 6, 2, 6, 6, 2) = 150

DC 37 Fort save needed. If succeeds, takes 5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 5, 1) = 18damage.

SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32
SR 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31

2 6th level spells, 1 mythic point, and 1 maximize wand charge gone.

Devil Fort saves:
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37...disintegrated!

The natural "1" vs. the devil misses.

Round 3: Darl

Darl snarls angrily, "Time to kill you all!" He moves to the center of the room and casts 2 spells! First, he unleashes a quickened Cold Ice Strike at Alie and Bublaka.
Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 6, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2, 2, 6, 5, 3, 6, 5) = 57
Reflex save DC 28 for none
Alie will take 85 cold damage if she fails save.

Darl then casts Stormbolts, the Eye of Vecna flashing as he casts the spell, and lightning engulfs the party, leaving the monk purposefully unharmed!
160 lightning damage
DC 30 Fort save for half damage (no evasion here as this is a Fort save)
Failure means you are stunned for 1 round.

Summary:
Alie and Bub must first make DC 28 Reflex saves
Party then must make DC 30 Fort saves.
After, Friar is up!

Updated Map

Reflex 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Fort 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21

Alie barely dodges all of the ice, but she was completely unprepared for the lightning attack that followed.

Fort save: 1d20 + 31 + 4 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 31 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 60...takes 80 damage. Ouch!

GM, we all have SR 33 by the way, so you may need to roll some SR checks. Assuming you pierce SR:

1d20 + 25 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 25 + 2 + 6 = 41...80 damage hopefully. Round 3 action dependent on how hurt party is.

Reflex save DC 28: 1d20 + 23 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 23 + 6 = 44

Fort save DC 30: 1d20 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 6 = 28 Shocking! (Why couldn't I have rolled those in the other order?)

My spell resistance got stripped off in the last battle. I do not believe we were able to renew it. The electricity resistance is still in effect, however, so I'm down 130 hp.

My spell resistance got stripped off in the last battle. I do not believe we were able to renew it. The electricity resistance is still in effect, however, so I'm down 130 hp.

Actually, Bublaka, Friar spent a mythic point to recast it on you...I scrolled back through the posts. So SR checks in alphabetical order:

Alie: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41 vs. DC 33...yes for Ice Cold Strike
Alie: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 vs. DC 33...yes for Stormbolts
Bublaka:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44 vs. DC 33...yes for Ice Cold Strike
Bublaka:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40 vs. DC 33...yes for Stormbolts
Friar: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 33 vs. DC 33...yes for Stormbolts
Valgrim: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40 vs. DC 33..yes for Stormbolts

Summary:
Alie evades the Ice Cold Strike and is immune to electricity in her Fiery Body so no damage!
Bub evades the Ice Cold Strike but takes 130 damage from Stormbolts after resistance
Friar takes 50 damage from Stormbolts after resistance
Valgrim takes 50 damage from Stormbolts after resistance

HP summary:
Friar is down 97 hit points
Bub is down 161 hit points
Valgrim down 50 hit points

I must have missed it. I scrolled back through the posts, too. And I missed some damage somewhere. With the 3 temporary points, I thought I was down 146. Adjusting hp total.

Waiting for Friar's action....

Apologies... Friar takes a 5' step back and uses a Mythic Point to cast Stormbolts, affecting Darl and the monk.

Chooses +1 attack and +1 dodge bonus from BoF
SR check vs. Darl: 1d20 + 21 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 21 + 4 = 28
SR check vs Tiefling: 1d20 + 21 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 21 + 4 = 40
DC 24 Fort save for half damage and no stun
Damage: 20d8 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2, 6, 2, 4, 3, 7, 3, 7, 2, 7, 5, 5, 8, 1, 8, 1, 4) = 81
MP remaining: 3/7

Darl Fort save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38

Friar's electricity is resisted by Darl, though he does seem injured by it. The monk, on the other hand, was severely wounded, and he just collapses, smoke emanating from his eyes. Darl is alone now, but he does not seem concerned.

As the next round starts, a beam of greenish-light shoots from the heavens, illuminating the NW section of the roof in a 25x25 area, and you can see the form of Kyuss start to emerge on the plane. In the party's minds, you hear Manzorian's voice, "It has begun....good luck, the fate of millions is in your hands!"

Valgrim and Bubba are up in Round 4!

Scary!

Will wait to see if Bubba greater dispels the Vecna priest first before attacking...

And I was waiting to see if Valgrim had a request of Bublaka.

"So be it."

Bublaka casts greater dispel on their foe.

Dispel check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

Dispel check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

Dispel check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

Dispel check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

Dispel check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

As a free action, Bublaka restores the greatsword into its extraplanar storage. Calling upon the mythic power that the party had been invested with, he moves with unnatural swiftness toward the priest of Vecna as he readies his almost-forgotten whip of fury. Moving like a living thing, the whip reaches out to tangle around the cleric's legs and tries to bring him crashing to the ground.

Spending a mythic point to use amazing initiative for an extra action, then moving within whip range of Darl and delaying the trip attempt until Valgrim is within melee range. Greater Trip means that if I succeed, Darl provokes and attack of opportunity from Valgrim.

CMB, Greater Trip, +3 Weapon: 1d20 + 23 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 23 + 4 + 3 = 34

Well, those are some disappointing rolls, all around.

Although the dispel check only relieved the cleric of one spell, the trip is sufficient and down goes Darl, granting Valgrim an AoO!

"Gots to take you down quick, Darl, before Kyuss appears!"
Valgrim will sudden charge the cleric, still under the effects of Bubba's Brilliant inspiration:
Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62...threat
1d20 ⇒ 8
AoO: 1d20 + 37 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 37 + 4 = 51
1d20 + 37 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 37 + 4 = 53
Damage: 2d6 + 2d6 + 33 ⇒ (3, 4) + (1, 4) + 33 = 45
1st attack: 1d20 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 32 + 4 = 50
1d20 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 32 + 4 = 48
Damage: 2d6 + 2d6 + 33 ⇒ (4, 1) + (4, 5) + 33 = 47
2nd attack: 1d20 + 27 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 27 + 4 = 43
1d20 + 27 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 27 + 4 = 47...threat
3rd attack: 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 22 + 4 = 27
1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 4 = 45...threat
4th attack: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 4 = 30
1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 4 = 33
5th attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 4 = 19
1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 4 = 34
Threat #1: 1d20 + 43 ⇒ (1) + 43 = 44
If confirmed, damage = 4d6 + 2d6 + 66 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 1) + (4, 4) + 66 = 93
Threat #2: 1d20 + 27 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 27 + 4 = 33
No confirmed, damage = 2d6 + 2d6 + 33 ⇒ (1, 3) + (4, 4) + 33 = 45
Threat #3: 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 22 + 4 = 46
Damage:4d6 + 2d6 + 66 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 6) + (6, 4) + 66 = 95
Assuming AC 35 or higher, total damage: 93+45+47+45+95=325!
MP: 2/7

Darl's Shield of Fortification spell neutralizes one of Valgrim's criticals!
1d100 ⇒ 4...no
1d100 ⇒ 98...yes
However, even with the reduced damage of 52 (instead of 95), the cleric of Vecna takes 284 damage and he topples dead to the floor!

Kyuss' appearance on the plane is going to take about 1 minute (so you have 9 rounds of actions, buffs, heals, etc.) before you fight a god! So let me know what actions you take in that interim, if any.

Ya, Darl is dead! Revenge tour continues!
Most likely, Kyuss will have Epic/DR and not be undead, so Valgrim's +2 weapon is not enough and he is looking to Bubba to see if he can identify the efreeti's sword to see if it qualifies, since the monk used his fists and the devil's spiked chain won't help. Other than that, Valgrim will position himself adjacent to where the green light is bathing the roof so he can full-attack when it is time.

If he is undead, use your falchion. If he's not, Bublaka can give you Blackrazor. I will happily provide a scroll of mass heal to our resident cleric if he wants to top us off. He can have all of them, for that matter, because my odds of using them successfully again are very low. Wish I'd looked at those DCs before I purchased the scrolls...

Spellcraft on the efreeti's weapon: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30

Friar uses Bublaka's scroll and casts Mass Heal on the party.
On subsequent rounds, he casts Quickened Deathless on Valgrim
Bless weapon on his sword if he is now using the Efreeti's sword
Communal Protection from Evil on the party
Summon Monster IX to summon a Ghaele Azata in light form

Spellcraft of 30 is exactly what the half-orc bard needed!
Though he died before using it, the Efreeti's weapon is a Large +5 Flaming Burst Falchion! As the enhancement bonus is +6 or higher, it is indeed an epic weapon for DR purposes. However, it does not shrink to fit the user's size so Valgrim must enlarge himself or have someone enlarge him in order to use it without penalty. Any other buffs or preparations or do we jump to the action?

Alie will cast Moment of Prescoence, twisted innards, and True Sight on herself.

Epic weapon...sweet!
Alie, can you spare an Enlarge Person?
If so....

Valgrim adjusts to his large size, sheathes his blade, and grips the Efreeti's sword, admiring its amazing craftsmanship.

"I shall call you "Scorched Fury"." With that, Valgrim is ready for the battle with Kyuss!

Alie will happily cast enlarge person on Valgrim.
